May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
I started listening to the Bitter Sweet Symphony experimental offshoot – or “curveball” (if you will) of the main weekly “Are You Not Entertained?” podcast last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Let me explain… I confess that it isn’t something I listen to regularly (the AYNE podcast) as, well….I’m not majorly into sport, and certainly…
Regular visitors to the blog will be able tell how much graphics and the visual arts feature here and in my life in general. I’m a bit of an amateur artist and love creating my own visual interpretations and I also like to draw and paint (even if I am not very good at it)….

Five years on…. Thank you so much, Jim ?? “Forever, I will adore only you…”
This piece of magic. I know I did the mash up superimposing of the two images BUT… Jim Kerr – I will love you all the rest of the days of my life for what you did for me as a consequence of me having a small bout of bravado and boastfulness. I would have…
It’s anniversary time. Five years since I had an absolute heart attack and fell in love with Jim even harder than I ever thought possible! ???? I never thought my heart rate was ever going to return to a normal rhythm. And I was off to see kitties that day in Oz! And I had…

I had been pondering doing this for some time, once I felt my collection had been big enough to deem it worthy. Probably the past 18 months or 2 years, but we were so crammed in our place in Luton, it never really seemed doable. Then we moved to Glasgow, had much more space to…
